Life as a Manager

Give me freedom or give me a new job!!!!!!!!

Well start with the good.
Agent life is busy.. but okay... Open houses can be good sometimes. If you are lucky you can find someone who doesn't have an agent but just looking. Our last one had a lady who will be moving in Feb. so we told her we would call her in Jan. and start showing her houses.. They are good way to get your business card out. Someone may just be nosey and wanted to see the house but may take your card and pass it on.. We also call expired listings and For Sale By Owners which we call Fisbos. You get a lot of NO's but all you need is 1 yes a month to survive.
I'm now taking the fast start class that roommate took. they are having a weekend one. It is interesting. And they remind us of all the things we can't say, you know those things that will cause you to break the law.. Like you wouldn't like this neighborhood because it has a high crime rate, or because of who lives in the neighborhood. Lots of fair houseing laws we have to follow, but they are easy to remember.

Now on to the nightmare's.. Wednesday morning the fire alarm goes off. because we are monitored the fire department was not happy. Wednesday night it went off again. they told us we had to fix it or they would close us down. I couldn't get a hold of the people who should have come out to look at it, so I had to have a fire patrol for a day in a half.. The fire marshalll is not happy with us but I can't do much about it.. It is a faulty wire and it is not easy to find.
I lived at the hotel until friday evening. Then I finally went home.. I haven't had any false fire alarms so I guess that is good. Well, the only positive is I got away from an annoying dog and I got to relax in a jacuzzi room.. The jacuzzi was very very nice....

Went to the jonny appleseed festival today.. It was fun.. I ate a buffalo burger, beef stew, sweet corn, and carmel popcorn.. Saw some old stuff for sell and drank some homemade root beer. If you can't tell, I go for the food...

It's a day... just a day...

Well, folks it has been awhile so I have alot to write about...
Real Estate is hard but if you work hard you can make a little dough...
Dar is doing all of the work since I still work at the hotel... So far we have 3 clients and so maybe in a month or so we might make a sell. Our first open house we didn't have a single person come.. I'm glad there was a chair so I just sat and relaxed..

Well, I'm also starting to sell Doc's vitimins and his new energy drink... I didn't think I would want to try but I really like the products.. I have now seen changes in Dar and myself that are good. So why not.. It is a lot of work to.. but why not.. It's not like I'm busy anyway..

Bad Luck??? I went to salvation army and bought a black dress with lace on it.. It really doesn't look that great but it was only 2 dollars. I joked and said. Well now I have a funeral dress...
WELL, 2 days later.........
Friday morning roommate gets a call that 2 very close friends of her family (married couple) pull out infront of a semi and died.. Funeral Monday.. Then friday night she got a call telling her that her grandfather died and funeral is Wednesday.. THEN sunday afternoon she got a call that a good friend town is died and her funeral is Tuesday.. I WILL NEVER JOKE ABOUT NEEDING A FUNERAL DRESS AGAIN... AND NO<<>>>>>

To make matters worse.. SHE gets to leave and go to PA.. We are dog sitting this very annoying dog and guess who gets to take care of him.... K.C. hates the new visitor and he barks constantly at him.. HELP HELP>>> I"M GOING DOG CRAZY>>>>>
